Our lawyers are representing dozens of Minnesota residents in lawsuits against Stryker Orthopaedics for personal injury caused by Stryker Rejuvenate hip implants. The lawsuits seek money damages from Stryker relating to the company’s development, assembling, manufacture and marketing of Stryker Rejuvenate modular neck and stem products. Specifically, the lawsuits seek compensation from the company for metallosis (metal poisoning from chromium and cobalt), pain, artificial hip failure and revision surgery (surgery to remove the Rejuvenate products and replace them).
Our firm recently won over $45,000,000.00 for clients injured by another product and are now taking on Stryker. You can contact them for a FREE consultation here.
This week, a federal panel of judges ordered that all Stryker hip lawsuits filed in federal courts throughout the United States be centralized in Minnesota for purposes of pretrial procedures. This is called multidistrict litigation (MDL).
“Consolidating federal cases in Minnesota should help move the litigation forward,” said Attorney Fred Pritzker. “The benefit of consolidation is that pretrial procedures will not have to be duplicated, yet each lawsuit maintains its own identity. This is a strategy we have used successfully in the past.”
The federal Stryker Rejuvenate and ABGII personal injury cases will be under the jurisdiction of Judge Donovan W. Frank of the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota (In re: Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2441). Our lawyers are working towards Stryker Rejuvenate lawsuit settlements, but they are preparing to go to trial if necessary.
